near or still so far ?
misty layer settles
on the frozen scars

Hiding the pain
in comforting shadows so far

Desire of arrival
guarding gates ajar

Time would still fly by
no matter
you would care not
look back thus far

Life and Death are merely , nano - picoscopic events in this universe . Sometimes accidental and sometimes planned .World existed before one's entry and world will still exist even after one's departure .
Glowing obituaries , great tributes by friends relatives alike , void felt by the most immediate relative or a well wisher and then everything remaining , the buildings , the walls of houses , the cycle of nature , cricket matches , TV programs ..nothing would change and nothing stops just one individual is missing in the action who would be replaced by somebody else.

Slowly life limps back to normalcy , people get used to the person alive not being there in the midst of the things anymore , a nice smiling photographs with new photoframe takes a major space of the wall .

Death is a sad moment or a moment of celebration of time spent by the individual notwithstanding the duration? No matter how much is the pain and suffering , departed soul would not be back in the same form and shape , provided there is re incarnation.
